You should have a 110 and a 156 screen, not two 156’s. But that is okay if you do.
Your bear looks incredible, even though you had some hurdles in GIMP. One issue I can identify from your printed film is the horizontal streaks. Usually that happens when the dpi while printing is not set to high enough. That is one possibility to ensure rich black is achieved. The other is to set the CMYK like the video attached.
The print, after your ink by hand addition, looks incredible!
With your test film exposure and print, you achieved some very fine detail! The only issue I can identify, is the half-tone area. The 50% area looks more white than 50% grey. That would likely mean that the screen is over-exposed and the black area is filling in. I would try one minute less during your next exposure.
Nice work, I’m really enjoying watching your progress.
The bear is SO BEAUTIFUL!!!
